Hotels in Lake Como, Italy

Lake Como is a deep glacial lake in northern Italy's Lombardy region, famous for its dramatic Alpine backdrop and grand villas like Villa Carlotta with its terraced gardens. Summers are warm and sunny, perfect for ferry trips to Bellagio for views of the lake and surrounding mountains, while winters bring snow to the peaks and smaller crowds for exploring Como's Gothic cathedral and narrow cobblestone streets. If you visit in spring, you can hike the Greenway del Lago trail along the western shore, seeing 10 miles of lakeside villas and olive groves.
